Where are people moving to in 2016?

Where are people moving to in 2016?

Florida is the
top destination in the U.S. according to data compiled by Yuqing Pan at
Realtor.com. Florida had 3 of the top 7 cities with regards to
residents gained. Topping the list was Tampa， Florida.

Using
data from the Census Bureau, Moving.com and Realtor.com, Pan found
people moving from New York, Chicago and Detroit to cities in Florida
such as Tampa, Jacksonville and Orlando. People are leaving behind the
cold winters, high taxes and over-priced cost of living in the North to
enjoy Florida living.

On the west coast, people are leaving cities in California such as San Jose, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

More
reasons for the move? Unlike California and New York, there is no
state income tax in Florida. Homes here are also more affordable than
in California and NYC. Strong job markets are also important as
unemployment is only around 4% in the growing Florida cities.

Where
i live, according to recent U.S. Census data, Sarasota ranks 11th in
the entire U.S. for population growth between July 2014 and July 2015
while maintaining the area's high quality of life.
